"There comes a point in most workouts where you question what you're doing and you simply wish it would end. This happens for me in longer workouts usually---one's that are over 15 minutes and/or 7 rounds or more. I'll be plowing along and in the 4th round out of 7 I'll think, "This is stupid. I don't even care about my time. If nobody were here with me I would stop." It's at that very moment that I draw on information that I received at Greg Amundson's CrossFit Goal Setting Course. I remind myself to think positive. It takes effort but I have to block out those negative thoughts and concentrate on, "Feeding the right dog....the dog of courage." Greg beautifully illustrates how to set this plan in motion and if practiced it can have an immediate impact on your outlook both in and out of workouts. I use pieces from the Goal Setting Course in my daily life and my daily workout and the results have been nothing short of amazing."

Congratulations to the “Most Beastly Family” in the gym – SR., JR., and Mike. This amazing family is dedicated to protecting and serving, and following the example of their dad. Henry Senior was a former Deputy Sheriff, who now serves as an Investigator with the District Attorneys Office. Mike serves in the United States Army, and Junior is pursing an advanced degree, with the goal of serving in Law Enforcement in Santa Cruz County. Henry Senior is also very active in our community, and recently organized the Santa Cruz County Law Enforcement Memorial Run. Inside the gym, these guys are absolute beasts, and as depicted in the photograph, often times take their fitness to the ultimate test of endurance and stamina in Mud Run and Spartan Races. Most importantly, these three men are shinning examples of integrity, service, faith and the pursuit of justice. Congratulations men!
